I'm just comparing the two bigs we have. Big T can't guard a 4.

You are corrext. When thet are introduced at State Farm Center and on ESPN website Tomi is the 5 and Rez is a forward. Rez is an emgency 5 and why we need another true 5 man. Rez struggled vs good Centers on defense. Tomi would vs 4s.. Rez is much like Ben Wallace when he was 19. If Rez gets a little bit of a mid range game he or gets even better in the glass he can make the NBA at the 4. He can still be very good interior power forward that needs to improve his mId range game. He will never be a 5 in the NBA so he needs to keep working on that 4 spot in college Rez was over matched vs very good stronger 5s like some teams possess. He can be a great 4 doing what he is now and very good with a mid range. He can't guard very good 5s but he can most 4s. I really hope we find a big bodied 6'11" + type guy that is tough to move in the post to stop guys we struggled guarding this year down low

Loved CoHawk and his outside shot was a threat but seeing him get manhandled on D in the paint by a big big was hard. Morez does give you that boost. She maybe really depends who the other 4 are on the floor.

Morez had 5 points and 2 rebounds in the game he started against Maryland who actually had a legit big. And not only did that big (Derik Queen), also a freshman btw, have 25 and 6. But their other “big”
Julian Reese had 27 and 17. 😂. What boost are you referring to friend? Coleman could’ve played beside Tomi this year and actually provided good value. We were a below average team when Morez started with Tomi. And to say morez has anything over Coleman is laughable. Coleman could’ve actually played guard 1-5.

I’m sorry but he was used incorrectly on defense and that’s 100% on Brad. That’s part of why Coleman was so frustrated and wanted out

If the whispers are true that we’re bringing back Humbrickhouse for 300k plus I’m really disappointed

If some weird chance we don't end up getting Sarr then Brad should do everything he can to get Will back. Nevertheless, hopefully Sarr cyrstal ball ends up still falling on us.

If you are referring to this post for Minnesota it’s 5-6M including rev sharing so it could be quite a bit different

With the cap being 20 mils for every team, I think most allocations will be 14 for football,5 for basketball, and 1 for all other sports. Just going by the amount of spots, I can’t imagine it being skewed more in basketball’s favor.

Anyone claiming higher numbers is speculation on NIL amounts outside of Rev Share which is completely unregulated anyway

Based upon the rumors I have been reading Tyler Underwood needs to be ousted. Caused some issues amongst players and his play calling

Are the Big East teams without football programs still able to go $20M (assuming they have the fiscal ability)?

He really didnt have a role until his junior season & yes his senior season unless you lived under a rock you knew he was frustrated with the defensive scheme. He was a great defender but for some reason he was in deep drop trying to bait you into taking tough 2s. He should’ve been used in hedges or stabs. He was so excited when he got switched onto a guard. He really showcased what he could do. I remember one when he got switched on Tyson Walker stuck with him every step
